Book Series I've DNFed

Following on from my post last week where I talked to you about all of the book series I'm in the middle of I thought I would share with you the book series I've decided to DNF. 

Putting together last weeks post made me realise just how many series I've started and that I need to be a bit more select with which ones I continue with and, because of that you'll notice some quite recent reads in this list. 

It's not as long as last weeks list but there's still a few here to talk about. 

The Beckoning Shadow by Katharyn Blair

I read this one last month and I thought it was just okay, nothing special. The ending of this first book was quite conclusive too so I don't feel like I'm missing out on too much but not carrying on. 

The Empty Gods by Breanna Teintze

I enjoyed this one and in my review I said I would pick up other things by this author but carrying on with this series is not high on my priority list. Especially as we don't have any info about subsequent books. 

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

Another one that was just okay. I enjoyed the first book and thought it was fun but I'm satisfied with that for now, but I will say I love these covers. 

Once & Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy 

I actually really enjoyed this one, it was very close to a 5 star read however, the pacing was really off. I won't be picking the next on up when it comes out because of this but, if reviews say this has been fixed then I might consider giving book two a go. 

The Epic Crush of Genie Lo by F.C. Lee

I was quite disappointed of with this one. I was really looking forward to it because I love anything based around mythology but I was just left wanting more.

Ivory and Bone by Julie Eshbaugh

This one was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed the setting and the time period but I struggled to relate to the characters. It was also quite a forgettable read, I can't really remember what happens. 

Grey Land by Peadar O'Guilin 

I enjoyed this story but I didn't find it as scary as everyone seemed to. Again another one that was what I wanted at the time but that I'm not invested enough with to continue.

Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller

Another that I enjoyed when I read it but it also had some issues. The story jumped around a lot in this one and I wasn't a fan of the romance. It was a couple of years ago now that I read this one and I can't remember what happened and I didn't love it enough to re-read.

The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands

I thought this one was fun, I enjoyed it when I read it and I fully intended to continue. I did get the 2nd book from the library and start it but for some reason never finished and I lost the motivation to continue with this one unfortunately. 

So there's definitely not as many here as there was in my last post. Maybe I'll have another cull of my series in a couple of months and see if there are any more I want to DNF as this has felt quite refreshing and has definitely taken some of the pressure off of my TBR. 

Do you read series? Are there any here you would convince me to carry on with?
